This is almost identical to me.  I have been on 40mg Fluoxetine for twelve months. Three weeks ago I took a turn for the worst with my anxiety. I feel back to square one. I am so frustrated as to why this has happened. I imagine that you must be questioning it all yourself. Xx

Hiya Pam, long time since heard from you... so sorry you’ve dropped down again bless you..

I’m feeling good these days, I had that bug after Xmas too, which did drag me down for around 5days, plus after 10month my bloody period started again really bad, so got to start the year again, 😩... but I’m fine now all the crap is out the way.. 

so even tho we are on Prozac I don’t think having bad days/week is not unusual, we get so use to having the good days, that wen the bad happens we hate it, as all we want is good all the times, but I’m not a doc but we are not robots either are we??

So maybe how body’s do go up and down like this, if we’ve got a virus or some thing, just may knock us of the balance we are use too..

I’m always here for you chic.. I do hope you get back on the up soon, which I’m sure you will keep intouch big hug 🤗xx

Pam i have to be honest with you and my opinion is it might be the meds. Before taking these tablets i had anxiety but not full blown panic attacks. Since i no have panic attacks during the night its been awful. I am going to slowly wean off them soon xxx

Hi Alli, yes it sucks when for no reason it comes back !!! Only thing can think of is I had that virus just after Xmas and like Dawn said , any little thing can trigger us !! Also I had been about my daughters bad migraines , to which she's found out to be hormonal, but I worried if course. Does any if yiu guys get like waves if despair when your not well? Hugs to you hun and hope we turn that corner soon xxxxxxxx

Thanks Dawn , glad your OK now though !! Yes I agree the meds can't cure the anxiety , but it's so confusing when it comes along again , and just after feeling great for several weeks !! Alli has posted that she's the same , its hard to know what else to do about it one lady said she thinks the meds make things worse , but we are so in despair with anxiety , that's why we go on them in the first place xxxxxxxx

Hi Star sorry your still not too good , its hard to know really if the meds help or not!!! Its a bloody mindfield of ups and downs ,why can't they just give us a drug , that's there's not so many side effects! Its limebeing between a rock and a hard place isn't it!!!!!! Hugs xxxxx
